Indiana Programs for Financial Aid
Requirements
- The completed FAFSA must be received by the federal processor by March 10 for the student to receive Indiana scholarships.
- The student and the student's parent(s) must reside in Indiana and remain residents the entire time the student is enrolled.
- Other requirements by the State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana (SSACI) can be found at the SSACI website.
The Frank O'Bannon Grant
The Frank O'Bannon Grant (formerly the Indiana Higher Education Grant) includes both the Higher Education Award and the Freedom of Choice Award.
Indiana resident students applying for need-based assistance by completing the FAFSA are automatically considered for the Frank O'Bannon Grant Program based on the federal calculation determining their parent's contribution.
The awards are given to the first Indiana school listed on the student's FAFSA. A student must notify SSACI if they decide to attend another Indiana institution. Notices are sent to the students beginning in March if there are problems with the original FAFSA application. These edit letters let the student know there are errors on the application that need to be fixed in order for the student to receive Indiana scholarships. Failure to make the changes by June 1 will result in the loss of scholarship.
The Frank O'Bannon Grant is a need-based, tuition only award given to students to help pay for tuition costs of an Indiana higher education. DePauw utilizes these funds in addition to other awards to give students the opportunity to attend.

Twenty-First Century Scholars Program
The Twenty-First Century Scholars Program began in the early 1990's to help students who would otherwise be unable to attend college. Students must maintain the qualifications of the pledge made while in middle school in order to receive the tuition only grant. These funds are used with other need based assistance to meet the cost of a DePauw education. Although tied to tuition at state institutions, there is a cap on how much a private school can receive. DePauw utilizes these funds in addition to other awards to give students the opportunity to attend.
